Place the water, sugar, cardamom and cinnamon in a large heavy-based saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until mixture becomes slightly syrupy. Add peaches, cover and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until tender.

Step 3

Use a slotted spoon to transfer peaches to a bowl. Set aside for 30 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Peel skin and cut peaches into wedges. Discard skins. Transfer peaches to a clean airtight jar or container and add the cooled syrup. Seal and place in the fridge.

This was a bit too sweet so I added a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice. The next time I will reduce cardomom to only 2. Otherwise really yummy.

This recipe was so easy to prepare and can be done a day or so ahead of a planned dinner party. I have only used it once and it was an immediate hit with all. I found it a little too sweet so will be cutting back on the sugar on the next lot
